+cotochris Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I did my first caches in Northern Ireland and was flabagasted to see that the stats are included with Ireland and not UK. Wrong country, am I missing something or is this one huge mistake by Groundspeak. I just can't understand the reasoning. Quote
+The Blorenges Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Read here: Place names for UK and Ireland. And for another discussion about it all: Since when did Northern Ireland leave the UK? MrsB Quote
+cotochris Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks for the links. A fair bit of discussion to say the least and my opinion is simply why list caches of one country on another? I read the reasoning but can not agree. It made me wonder the caches in Crimea where they are listed.... Quote

+Pieman Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 If you read the old thread you will find a lot of angst and little illumination from both sides of the argumant. Actually, it was done for a practical reason, to make it easy for Irish cachers on both sides of the border to search for caches on the island of Ireland without picking up caches in the rest of the UK which are across the water.
